The matriarch of our family has passed on.

We were lucky to have such a courageous woman lead us.

Our family started in the Delta farmlands and rose up into professionals in the towering cities.

She taught us the value of education, hard work, and moral character.

She was well-lived at 102 years

The mural is titled "The Statue of Liberty's Silent Protest" and was created by Dutch artist Judith de Leeuw. In an interview, Leeuw revealed to Storyful that it is meant to reflect shame for the United States over President Donald Trump's immigration policies.

He characterizes his chosen religions as "traditional religion" even though he only considers denominations of Christianity and Judaism

These are the weird parts that I'm referencing:

One's under "alternatives that Americans have been picking"

The other is under "why these particular religious formations enjoy Smith's attentions instead of others."

Smith prioritizes Christian denominations & plays them against the easiest targets

He was calling for Tehran, a city of nearly 10 million, to be evacuated just yesterday.

He doesn't sound like he has a plan.

Not even concepts of plan. At least not a peaceful plan.

If we're always working, then we'll still be working whether or not we clock in on Friday.

And if our work should be "project-based" instead of hours-based, like he says, there's not even a reason to have a workweek at all.

Wrote my first LinkedIn post.

Software development started this week for the peer-to-peer small and mid-sized business lending platform I'm building.

It should take 20-22 weeks for the prototype. Then, we'll do testing before launch.

To me, the 1st business of business is service, not profit.

I wrote this since some people I talked to about what RFK Jr. said claimed I didn't know the real toll of autism because I was what they called "high functioning."

There was a long period where I couldn't support myself and 5 years were I was unemployed or underemployed...

Then he says this.

He says he wants all future children to "have a fair chance at living a healthy & fulfilling life."

& to that end, he says that autism "should be prevented for the benefit of the child."

Then, he says that his position is a position of compassion.

He makes our autism his prop.

The nerve of this guy. I'm autistic, and my autism didn't destroy my family. I've held jobs since highschool. I've paid taxes since highschool. I've went on dates. I've written poetry since 8th grade. Not good at baseball, but I've played. And spoiler to RFK Jr., I can use the toilet unassisted. 1/3

It's telling that the Hispanic person the far-right wants is the Hispanic person who imprisons other Hispanic people the far-right wants to get rid of w/out a day in court.

& Marco Rubio.

They will tell you that you can get by if you assimilate, but what they want is for you to abandon your own.

I like the open CNN used here:

"President Donald Trump’s abrupt decision to reverse course on his sweeping tariff plan by announcing a three-month pause revealed his threshold for political pain: One week."

I pull up a CNN YouTube video under recommendations..

A guy from Breitbart shows up on the panel.

In Media Bias Fact Check, Breitbart is under Questionable Source and Extreme Right.

There's no value in both-sidesing w/ a questionable source you know is malicious.

And you're actually harming ppl.
